"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.

An interesting NPR article, talking about the story arcs for Breaking Bad, The Wire, and The Sopranos.
I think the author is correct here. I hoping Mr. White will find some kind of moral life raft in the final 16 episodes, but Gilligan has hinted for several years he plans for him to end the show as the complete opposite type of person he was, when it all began.
I don't recall if I've said it in this thread or not, but I predict Jesse's botany knowledge significantly grows, by episode 8.Walt is evil, and barring a turn of events that's both unexpected and counter to literary tradition, he is going to crash and burn.Comment

The show is not going to redeem Walt. Don't expect that moral life raft.So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.Comment

You should envy me. I'm in a mid summer Breaking Bad Catch-Up. I've been watching 3 episodes a day, and last nights last episode was "box cutter." By July 15, I'm going to be caught up, and be ready for season 5. Till then I've got 11 more episodes to watch...Comment

Over the past 4 weeks I re-watched seasons 1-4 with my wife -- she had finally decided that she wanted to be on the Breaking Bad train, so in marathon of TV watching we watched it. I can't wait for this Sunday -- I too believe that Walter is heading for a violent fate, and I can't imagine that it won't cost the lives of others around him, too.Visca Catalunya LliureComment

One of my favorite fictional characters ever, I would be happy for Walt to stride away into the New Mexico desert. To me, the least appealing ending would be, Hank or another DEA agent, cuffing WW as Junior looks on.Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostComment

Tonight's the night (although I'll have to wait and watch it when I get back home Tuesday). Meanwhile, I apologize if this has already been posted, but I found this amusing:

Yeah we're really looking forward to the premiere tonight. So people with Dish still don't have AMC, right? That sucks.
My kids are complaining about this whole Viacom/DirecTV dispute because of losing Nick, but I would be a lot more annoyed about losing AMC.Comment

Very funny. Thanks for posting. I reposted it on facebook.Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View Post
My kids don't watch Nick but we watch Comedy Central. Grrr! But I'd take Jesse Pinkman over Daniel Tosh any day.Originally posted by CardiacCoug View Post
So, the real question is, did Walter White poison that little boy?
Or perhaps Gus' men planted (so to speak) the flower in his backyard? Are we ever really going to know for sure?

Oh, but I don't want him to be THAT evil. I have to hold on to hope that he wouldn't actually do that.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostWhat's to explain?
